Original X-roads-2003

    My eyes grew wider, there was a loud humming sound as I approached. My heart began to beat fast but it wasn’t pounding, then I heard Jonothan start to whisper… I reached over and grabbed Sertoff’s left shoulder hard. Pain griped me like I had dry ice all up and down my arm where I had entered the force field. I gritted my teeth, the field dropped, “Get us outta here!” I managed through my gritted teeth. We were enveloped by a bright white light and then stood in front of the tavern again.
    “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. I grabbed my arm, THIS PAIN IS KILLING ME!!!!
    Sertoff lifted a flask to my lips.
    I gulped it down like I had never gulped before. The pain vanished after the third but the rest were for good measure. I don’t ever want to feel that pain ever again.
    “We have to go back and get the others.”
    I let out a breath, “I know.”
    “Ready?” he studied me.
    I shook myself to relax then looked into his grey eyes, “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
    The bright light surrounded us and we stood at the end of a hallway.
    “LOOK OUT!” I heard Jamie’s squeal and a fireball smashed against the white barrier and inch from the right side of my face. Sheesh! I let out a breath, “Jamie! Get Mesiaha!” I yelled to him. Then I turned to see Flame, a humanoid type figure that is nothing more that a huge flame.
    “Hey Jasylin!” his voice sounded like a synthesizer set on high or something, it was really strange. “I heard you’re not on Jonothan’s good side anymore.” he taunted.
    I glared at him, “I wasn’t aware he had a Good Side.”
    There was a flash of blue light in the direction Jamie had gone in.
